Vast forests, lush green prairies and small valleys with clear rivers snaking through charming stunning countryside… The Loire Valley, another region brimming with history, is home to magnificent Renaissance castles reflected in the waters of the River Loire. The extensive forests and fertile fields once served as hunting grounds for France's nobility.
